Lizzo is reportedly being sued for allegedly ripping off a song by another artist.
The GRC Trust is claiming the singer sampled and copied parts of their original song ‘Win Or Lose (We Tried) without permission, TMZ reports.
According to a new lawsuit, GRC claims Lizzo’s 2025 song ‘I’m Goin’ In Till October’ takes both vocal and instrumental elements of thier copyrighted work.
The lawsuit also reportedly claims the parties tried to reach a deal to sample the work but never came to an agreement.
The GRC trust alleges Lizzo and Atlantic Records knowingly used the original song’s composition for commercial gain without paying for a licence.
They are said to want damages and an injunction blocking the exploitation of their song.

A rep for Lizzo said: ‘We are surprised that The GRC Trust filed this lawsuit. To be clear, the song has never been commercially released or monetized, and no decision has been made at this time regarding any future commercial release of the song.’
Lizzo teased ‘I’m Goin’ In Till October back in August when she released some of the song on social media.
On the song, Lizzo mocked Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign, which was some accused of pushing Nazi-like eugenics as aspirational.
‘No kizzy / He ain’t got no business being with me,’ Lizzo – who boasts 44.6M social media followers – rapped.
‘Fat a** pretty face with the ti**ies / Bi***, I got good jeans like I’m Sydney!’
The four-time Grammy winner – who rocked a waist-length platinum-blonde wig – twerked up a storm while pretending to wash a retro red car in the raunchy clip similar to Sydney’s own 2020 Ford Shelby GT350.
Lizzo – who gets 12.1M monthly listeners on Spotify – revealed she was ‘back in the studio’ so the new track will most likely appear on her upcoming fifth studio album, Love in Real Life.
The rapper posted a different American Eagle rap parody, which began with Fox commentator saying: ‘We are over this woke agenda, we are over the Lizzos, we are over the Dylan Mulvaneys. If this was a 300-pound, non-binary person they would be applauding her.’

‘Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,’ Sweeney said in the original commercial. ‘My jeans are blue’
Lizzo (born Melissa Jefferson) first lampooned the $3.3B denim brand last Thursday by reposting a political meme featuring an AI version of herself in a Texas tuxedo captioned: ‘My jeans are black…’
‘Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,’ Sweeney said in the original commercial.
‘My jeans are blue.’
Sydney has not publicly addressed the backlash, but CEO Jay Schottenstein issued a statement stressing that the spot ‘is and always was about the jeans’ and noted that ‘great jeans look good on everyone.’
